Channel 4's feelgood factor lasted most of Tuesday evening, with The Year Britain Froze averaging 2.289 million (9.6%, C4+1 about 200,000) from 8pm, and Shameless attracting 2.788 million (15.4%, C4+1 260,000/2.6%)

HOTTER THAN JEREMY KYLE ON ITV2

Hotter than My Daughter: BBC3, 8.30pm – in the fine tradition of the network's tasteful, understated programme titles, the factual entertainment format returned for a second series with 621,000 viewers – the second most-watched multichannel show on Tuesday.

The show was the centre piece of a triple bill of trashy BBC3 titles, nestling between Snog Marry Avoid? (8pm: 507,000) and Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents (9pm: 576,000).

BBC3 hogged six of the top seven spots in the multichannel top 10 on Tuesday, with only The Jeremy Kyle Show on ITV2 (2.35pm: 551,000) crashing the ratings party.

The other BBC3 high flyers were the 10pm EastEnders repeat (851,000), a two Family Guy repeats (11.25pm: 525,000, 11pm: 501,000).
